Beverley, Eeq., Leeds_ This Company has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important ?towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing 'population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the '.number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate introduction of railways. The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great; and its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield and avave average,value ; whilst around the Coast there .are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea• weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com paratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to any produced from the great Welsh quarries. 'The Granite near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of railway facilities, become available for export. One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St. John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce of these mines is now brcught by laud-carriage (there being no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as well as all necessaries required by the inland population, are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held during the year in this district, must add considerably to the annual revenue of the Company. • The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown, Ramsey, and Laxey : Douglas being the chief port, and the great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex pensive. The access to the Island is easy, and the means of com munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by mailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient. Hence, Tourists visit th e Mand in large numbers, above 100,000 passengers ha v i ng b een l an d e d a t i ts Ports during the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. I The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the s&lubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The picturesple is united with the more solid advantage of cheap living, laovisions being abundant and comparatively inea• Pellsi've, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so entail as to render the Island most advantageous as a per- Znanent place of residence. Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of the Ports of Douglas and Peel . The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently established. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings. The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula tion along it are most favourable to the project. From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic wi:l re turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital, The fol lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic : Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum. Goods, Minerals, Fish, &a 5,600 Parcels and Mails £13,150 Working Expenses at even 50 per Cent. 6,500 Leaving for Dividend £6,00 Plans, Sactions, &c., of the Line are completed, and all necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with the St. nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an Act of the Local Parliament. Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island, and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the value of Railway property in England and other countries, no less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can not, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this Lino. An eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase the land, make th e R a il way , prov id e an d fit up a ll St a ti ons , furnish R o lli ng Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs, uwpon satisfactory terms.

Although the system of joint-stock banking has been esta blished to meet the requirements of most departments of ' trade, it has not been introduced for the business of the Agricultural and Cattle-markets of the Metropolis ; and though the pspulation has doubled Within the last twenty five years—and consequenlly the necessary q tantity of sup plies - yet the whole business, amounting to fifteen to twenty millions per annum, is left in the hands of a few private firms. The Albion Bank is introduced to provide increased facilities for this trade, by establishing an office in the City, as well as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan tatt e-market ; and subsequently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening branches in the aaricult iral districts. The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business to be transacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre ciated by a kilo sledge that the method in which dealings are carried on at the Cat. le-market ems titutes the back, the de po-itory of all the moneys passing from the buyer to the Producer. The Metropolit n Meat or Poultry-market in Smithfield, now in course of erection, is destined, by the terms of the act of Parliament, to combine and supersede all other markets for meat in the m•tropolis. To this market will be concen trate • all transactions for the supply of buterers' meat, poll' try, and other pr.duce to the inhabitants of the metro polis, and a circle of 14 miles round it. The Directors have entered into provisional arrangements by which the advantage of c mmencing up ,n an eßtabl shed connexion, under competent and experienced manageme .t, will be secured to Shareholders from the c fmmence meet of buslm as, by which they are warranted in expect ing that they wi 1 be enabled to declare a dividend during the first year. That number of Joint-Stock Banks m y be advantageous increased (more p r icularly r speeW circumstance•, such as have led to the formation of the Albion Bank), is de monstrated by the fact that so late as six ye r+ ago, when the number of Joint Stock Bank In London was n t more than six, their total deposits did not ex2eed £22,030,000: while now that the number of these ban a has been doubled, the joint der sits are ail eady more than treb e 1, arnoun fug to a total of £71,792,300. The dividend+ of the older banks range from 15 to 30 per oent. in iccor iance with the dates of their eatabli hment ; ~n d the premiums on their shares ire from 209 to 300 ,er cent. in a precisely smi ar r dim The deposits and dividends of th Joint-btock Banks recent y formed show a ra' id progress tow , ,rds identtc , 1 results.

In Liverpool—The Washington Hotel. PROSPECTUS. Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger traffic which exists between this country, America, the West Indies, and Canada passes. It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel accommoda tion is not only desirable, but absolutely necessary ; and t supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted u on the model of the great American and Continental Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury which modern taste can suggest. The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, opposite the principal railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It contains about 200 rooms, furnished in the best style. Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of storing about 3,00 tons of ice. These are the only public ice wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the whole town. The Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade, furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included in the purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent on the capital will be realised. It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other large t o wns in the United Kingdom, and also in America. As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and acquiring a business, will be avoided. The Company will take immediate possession of the pre mi%es, and Enter at once upon the business, consequently re turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticii.ate large dividends for the shareholders. 'I here will be no promotion money, and the preliminary expenses %sill be restricted to the amount actually incurred. Hu() allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi I be returned in full ; and if a less numb-rof shares be allotted than are applied for, the balance of such deposit wiil be cre dited towards the payment on a lotment. l'ians of the pro Derty may be seen at the Offices of the Com pany, and also at the Brokers, where Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be had.

The leading fin anciSl establishments in Paris are the Credit Mobiliet and the Credit Fonder; both of which have stood the test of experience, and have realised very large profits for their shareholders—the transactions of the Credit Fonder being based upon the Land Credit system, whilst the Credit Mobilier embraces general Financial business. The wisdom of this division of operations has been fully realised by the Credit Fonder for Great Britain and Ire la n d, which, since its establishment, has found the offers of busi ness, both of a Land Credit as well as of a general Financial character, so large, as to necessitate the formation of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), to undertake such financial opera tions as the Credit Fonder, with due regard to its special ob jects, cannot legitimately carry out. The principal objects of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), are as follows, viz..— To co-operate with other first-class Financial and Indus trial undertakings. To negotiate Government and Municipal Loans. To aid in carrying out concessions, based upon Govern ment guarantees and subventions. To make advances to responsible contractors for English and foreign railways, and other public works. To lend on the security of stocks, funds, shares, deben tures and other approved securities, with special reference to the requirements of the Stock Exchange. The Credit Mobilier (Limited) wi!l also receive money on deposit for long or short per ode. The marked success which has attended the operations of the various Financial Companies, now in existence, is well known, and is evidenced by the following quotations of the market value of their respective shares.

The object of this Company is to purchase and extend the well-known and succuist ul business carried on by the Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), at Black wall. The Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), was established in the year 1857, and has now attained the foremost position in the construction of vessels of war and ships of the highest class for the commercial marine. The iron for these vessels, and for their armour plates, is manufactured on the premises, together with forg ings and castings of the largest class for marine engines, bridges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam hammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, &c., are all of the best class and in the highest state of efficiency, forming together an establishment unequalled. Three of the largest iron-clad frigates in the British navy —the Warrior, Valiant, and Minotaur—have been built by the Thames Ship-building Company, and orders have been received for iron-clad vessels for the Danish, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish navies, some of which are now in course of construction. It has been determined to add to the existing* business of the Company two other lucrative branches, namely, Graving Docks and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially connected with its present operations. For this purpose, as well as for the large and increasing business of the Com pany, a considerable extension of capital will be required as the works advance ; and in order to carry out the objects in view, it is proposed to transfer to the new Comvany (subjeot to payment of the dividend for the past year) the whole of the valuable contracts, assets, goodwill, and effects of the Thames Iron Works Company, together with its liabilities and eng,azements, as from the Ist of January, 1864, in consi deration of the payment to the Thames Iron Works Company of the sum of £275,000, of which the Shareholders in that Company will take £150,000 in fully paid-up Shares, and £125,000 in Debentures of the new Company, bearing interest at 5 per cent. per annum. The property of the Company consists of twenty acres of freehold land on the Essex side of the River I ea, next Black wall, and the premises and branch works known as the Phoenix Iron Works, Miliwall, together with the valuable plant and works. It is proposed to construct two graving docks capablr of re ceiving ships of the largest class, for which the accommoda tion on the River Thames is at present insufficient. For this r i, , n lrn ra se m it ee lli at i e - t y e " 1 andijeodintion g p t lre e purchase s e eight having acres r o o n f t i ag r freehold t o o; fi t to Bow Creek and the River Thames, which 1 .nd is, at pre sent. in the occupation of the Company, with the option of purchase. '1 he proposed new graving docks will be in the immediate vicinity of the Rust and West India and Victoria Docks ; and it is confidently anticipated that from their admirable situa tion constant and remunerative employment for repairs, both of ships aid engines, wi I be found. The existing contracts of the Thames Iron Works Com pany, which will be transferred t 3 the new Comp , ny, amount to upwards of a million and a quarter sterling (inder,eadently of the work in hand for the forge and rolling mills), and have all been taken on such terms as fairly to justify the anticipa tion of the same rrofltab'e results which have already at tended the CoTpany's operations. All the Directors of the old Company will retain their in terest in the cc w Company, and their seats at its Board, and the management wi I remain in the same experienced hands which have hitherto conducted it so suocesefulty, and raised it to its present state of prosperity. Applications for Share' to be made in the annexed form. In the event of no allotment cf Shares being made, the de pasit will be returned in full.

Oxford and Cambridge Athletic Sports, The first competition between the Universities in athletic sports took place on Saturday on the Christ Church new cricket ground, Oxford, in the presence of a vast number of persons, including many of the college authorities and some hundreds of ladies, who took a very keen interest in the proceedings. Everything was carried out in the most satisfactory manner. The following is the list of stewards Stewards.—Oxford—R. A. H. Mitchell, Balliol, hon. secretary; 0. Mordaunt, Christ Church, treasurer ; C. R. Carr, Wadham; W. C. Harris, Brasenose ; F. R. Evans, Exeter. Cambridge—P. M. Thornton, Jesus, hon. sec. ; J. Chambers, Trinity, treasurer; C. B.

Slocock, Jesus, Cambridge, did not go to the post. Hannain, who was the favourite with the Oxonians, took the lead, but soon resigned it to Thornton, who, being unwell, made the running for his fellow competitor. Ile did not, however, go quick enough for Lewes, who took up t h e paeo about half-way in the first lap, and Ilannam was second, about three yards in the rear, evidently making a wa iting race of it. They went tho second and third round in the same positions, Thornton keeping well up, and about half way in the last round ho aided his leader by spurting up to and passing Hannan', who went up to Lawes and ran level with him for 20 yards. Just at this period Lawes looked back two or three times over his shoulder, his oppo nent being on hiwright. On seeing Ilannam up with him he bounded away, and in 20 yards more was again quite three yards ahead, So he kept to the end, winning a fine race, Ilannam falling exhausted after passing the judge. Ilad Slocock started and made the pace better, it would have improved Lawes's chance, as he had to run almost the entire race by himself, which was a great disadvantage; but it must also, in fairness, be mentioned that Ilannam was " a little off," and as to Thornton, he was " dead amiss." The raco created great excitement, and was run in 4 min, 56 sec., the last lap, 26 yards less than a quarter of a mile, only occupying 51 secs.

Mr. Garnett took a commanding lead, following his colleague, and they kept increasing their distance, both running together. About two fields from home they began to race for "the pride of place," the victory of Cambridge being, "bar accident," beyond a doubt. l's.l r. Webster fell at the last hedge but one, and his friendly competitor, who jumped very beautifully throughout, got a lead of 20 yards. The same distance divided them after flying the iron fence, and though Mr. Webster put on a dashing spurt in the straight run up to the Pavilion, ho got very little nearer to Mr. Garnett, who was very loudly and deservedly cheered on passing the judge. The third '.gentleman was 200 yards astern, and his more immediate follower 50 yards from him, very much distressed. With that race the sports con cluded. The admirable manner in which the police arrangements were carried out by Inspector Savage deserves mach i com mendation. There were up war d s o f 4,000 persons n the enclosure, and at least double that number in the road and along the the steeplechase course, THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Times Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Feb. 19. The extreme severity of the weather appears during the last four days to have impeded military operations in every quarter except in Florida. General Grant has not been heard of during the week, and the positions of Longstreet and Joseph Johnston are surmised but not known. Ru mours continue to be abundant, but the facts that might support. them are vaguer and more shadowy than themselves and will not bear scrutiny. Many people in high position are of opinion that General Grant has taken the initiative in a movement that will either make him the greatest soldier of his time or consign him to the limbo of the numberless dead reputations of the war, which no power can revive, and no galvanism startle into even the eblance of activity. A much larger class are sae mpression that a n ew i nvas i on of North under ' er the . ern soil will be attempted by Gene ra l L eo as soon as the weather shall p-lermit—the sce ne o f operat i on this time to be I(entuck and Ohio, inst ea d o f ; Maryland and Pennsylvania. But if warlike operations offer no ps2int of pre sent interest, the state of political affairs is se',7gest ive of coming danger. Whatever may be the oar;`' in other portions of the Federal States, there is no enthusiasm in New York, city or State, for the re election of Mr. Lincoln. The jobbers, brokers, and gamblers of Wall-street, and the contractors who wax rich and insolent on the profits wrung out of the needs of the army and the carelessness of the Administration, are the only persons who seem very earnestly to desire a prolongation of his term, The mass of the people are indifferent, mainly for the reason that they think any agitation of the subject will be premature during the next two or three months. Mr. Simeon Draper, ex-Provost- Marshal, convenes meetings in support of his favourite candidate, but cannot, by all the art of advertising, draw 50 people together to Hope Chapel to hear any eloquence of which the themes are the virtues and the patriotism of the President. The clergy are shy of supporting his claims, and even Mr. Henry Ward Beecher deprecates the nomination of any one at present, on the ground that there is as yet no candidate before the public whose name is a tower of strength to rally around it the heart and the judgment of the people. Mr. Wendell Phillips thinks Mr. Lincoln pretty good as far as he goes, but by no means good enough, and hints that if he be re-elected it will not be be cause he is the best man to be found, but simply because at some unexpected turn of events he may prove to be the most convenient. "The error of our politics," said he, in recognition of a fact that has long been known to every foreign observer of American history, though it was never very gene rally recognised in America, " is that we take the available man always instead of taking the best. The available man is the last convert to our opinions —the man who is not so obnoxious to our enemies that they hate him, and one that we ourselves can forgive. What is the result ? The bias of his old opinions we do not know, but they will always influence him, and the consequence is the man is trusted before he is known, and he al ways deceives you." If the opinions of the press of this city can be taken as an index to the public sentiment, Mr. Lincoln must be placed among the most unpopular of all the candidates. The herald mocks and gibes at him. The Daily News denounces him with sound arguments and literary. diA nity. The World ardently supports General M'Clellan. The New York Times hesitates to recommend anybody, least of all Mr. Lincoln. The Tribune, which did more to make him President by defeating Mr. Seward's nomina• tion at the Chicego Convention in 1860 than a hun dred thousand voters could have done, cautiously refrains from saying a word in his favour. 'I he Journal of Commerce is openly hostile. The Express, like the World, is strong for M'Clellan. The Evening Post, the editor of which derives large emoluments from an office in the Navy Yard, to which he was appointed by the present Administration, has not yet mustered courage enough to support Lis patron to any greater extent than to collect into one focus all the presentable and printable jokes which are attributed to him, and publish them for the amusement of the people, that they may know what kind a genius they have chosen to rule over them. This, however, is an electioneering device which may possibly do more harm than good to the cause it was intended to promote. The only other daily paper of any note is the New Yorker Stoat Zeituny, printed for the Germans, and which is said to have a circulation of about 40,000. This journal advocates the pretensions of Gen. Fremont, as far superior to those of any other candidate. The Irish have no daily paper exclusively devoted to their interests, but the weekly Roman Catholic journals, which more particularly address themselves to foster Irish sentiment, are all in favour of M'Clellan. But Mr. Lincoln, like all Americans, knows too well how easily the New York press can be managed by the wire-pullers of party to give himself much, if an .- trouble on the score of its present hostility or indifferent. e Hi s plan—or that of the p ersons tieir own power and importancs who would prolong so much political as by prolonging his—is nom. i oction by the vote military. He would prefer re-es.. : eably: ren- of a clear majority of the people, peb dered, if such a result were possible ; but as /.. his is not likely, whether the fortune of war be favour- able, the plan is, as I believe I have already men• tioned, to favour the nomination of many candidates, so as to split up the popular vote and throw the election into the House of Representatives. As in such a case the representatives would vote by States, and as Mr. Lincoln has already a majority in the House, it will make assurance doubly sure if he can add to the number of States by the means de scribed in bis recent proclamation. It is for this purpose that General Banks is hectoring in Loui siana and declaring " indifference to be a crime." It is for this purpose that a military expedition has been sent to take possession of Florida — a point of no military value ; and it is for this purpcse alone that Arkansas and Tennessee have sent or will send representatives to Congress on behalf of that decimal minority of " loyal " people—to whom Mr. Lincoln, without any authority bat such as he derives from the war power, has deputed the privilege of electing State officers and representatives. With the same end in view it is suggested, although Congress has but 15 days longer to sit, that the outlying territories of Nebraska, Idaho, and others, and even the Mormon Paradise of Utah, should be formally admitted as States of the Union before the adjournment, But the Americans are not so wholly absorbed by the passion of war or the greed of gain as not to , be aware that this is a dangerous game, and that, as Mr. Lincoln's election produced one secession and one civil war, his re-election by means like these may produce a second secession in tae North or West, and a second civil war as sanguinary as the first. A Republican representative, Mr. Winter Davis, of Maryland, and not long ago a strenuous supporter of the Administration , has a l rea d y sounded the alarm. I n opposing the right of a newly-elected representative of the Third Congres sional district of Arkansan to take his sea t i n th e House, on the gr ound that his election was illegal sid unconstitutional, he took the position that there could be no civil government in a St a t e th a t h a d seceded; at least, no civil gove rnment t h at t h e Pre sident of the United States could recognise; and, consequently, that no representative of such a State could be deputed to or sit in Congress. He de nounced at the same time the appointment of mili tary Governors in portionsof seceded States, charged with the duty of influencing regulating , and con trolling electi ons b y t h e intermediation of a minority, called the President's Proclamation of Amnesty, from w hi c h th e suppose d r i g ht was de rived, a piece of waste paper, and manifested so bitter a spirit of hostility to Mr. Lincoln's pretensions as to A/ S PAPE R - rT7 - 4 , v.:. take the House by surprise.

'rig re-election may lead to a schism that may not only defeat his purpose, but break up the Republican party. The anti-slavery journals ;,have not yet said a word on the subject of the extraordinary re-enslave ment of the black population of Louisiana by Gen. Banke. It cannot be alleged that their attention has not been directed to the subject, for no less than three of the most important and influential of their number approve cordially all those portions of the document that relate to the duties of the white race in the approaching elections. The Tribune thinks Gen. Banks entitled to special commendation for declaring that in his proconsulate indifference titiall be treated as crime, "For our own part," it says — though the words seem str.:, , ge in a journal that is avowedly edited by Horace G rceley—" we heartily approve Gen. Banks's order, and wish the rule were universal and imperative that every man en titled to a vote should vote or pay a smart fine. We have often found fault with Gen. Banks, but this order is right." The New I' erk Times (equally emphatic) asserts its belief that the doctrine of Gen. Banks is sound, and hopes that he will resolutely carry it out. Mr. Wendell Phillips, who is not a professional politician like ',these writers, and is therefore not so easily led from the paths of prin ciple into those of party expediency, ignores th e only portions of the general's "order" which his quondam fellow-labourers in the cause of emancipa-' tion have thought worthy of notice, and denounces .` the man Banks, who in the third city of the em pire (it, used to be called a republic) had picked up the chains of the black man which Mr. Lincoln had thrown off, and with them refastened his feet to the ground." Whisky has more than once pleased an important part in American politics. In the infancy of the Republic there was a " whisky nista rection" which it somewhat troubled the great Washirigton to sup press. Mr. Lincoln has also a whisky tt ouble oa his hands, which threatens to bring him into personal difficulty with some of his most cordial frVnda and supporters. It was known to the world bet.ore the assembling of Congress that Mr. Chase wouid be compelled by the necessities of his financial posit, on to make an effort, more or less statesmanlike, t.' raise a larger revenue from taxation than he had yet succeeded in drawing into the Treasury. It was, known, however, to none but a very select few that he would propose a considerable increase of the whisky duties. These few formed themselves into what is called a " ring," and bought up cautiously at low prices the whole stock of whisky and other spirituous liquors in the country, with the exception of the comparatively small quantity in the hands of the retail dealers. The quantity thus purchased was equal, it is reported, to no less than two years' con sumption. When the bill increasing the duty to 60e. per gallon was introduced into Congress, Mr. Fernando Wood moved an amendment to the pro spective clause. Ho argued that, as the object of the Government in imposing the duty was to raise a revenue, that object would be defeated if the stock of whisky on hand were not subjected to the impost ; that the people would be made to pay a price during two years enhanced by the whole amount of the duty ; and that not a cent of advantage would accrue to the public Treasury. Ho therefore moved to tax the stocks in hand, and the amendment was carried in a thin house. The whisky interest took the alarm, but soon recovered its lost equanimity. A select deputation of the "Ring," with unlimited greenbacks in their possession and full authority to spend them as they pleased for the advantage of the common cause, was despatched to Washington. The deputation understood its men. It knew the power of the dollar that it wielded, and the weakness of the morality that would resist it, and wrought accordingly. Dinners at Willard's and elsewhere; private parties and re-unions; earnest confabulations in quiet corners ; and an unusually full and active lobby were the results. In duo course the bill reached the Senate, and that august body, forgetting for awhile how much Mr. Chase needed money, struck out the amendment of the Lower House. But the battle was not yet won. The Senate having made an alteration, the 13111 had to bo returned for consent or disapproval, as the case might be. The greatest interest was forthwith ma nifested at every bar-zoom, hotel, and place of public resort the national capital to know whether the representatives of the people would allow their patriotism or their cupidity to be the strongerin the contest between duty and dollars. It is presumed that dollars gained the victory, for the House re versed its former action and voted, by a majority of 77 against 73, not to tax the stock of spirits in hand. By this means, if the President do not eau. rise his privilege of veto, Mr. Chase will lose five millions of dollars per annum for two years ; and the ten millions thus lost to the Government will go into the pockets of the speculators who have so adroitly managed the business, at a cost of no one knows how much, but probably of less than a mil lion out of the ten. The representatives, aware that in a matter of this importance they would be liable to be called to a strict account by their constituents, would not vote by "yea" and "nay" in the usual manner, and allow their names to be ;taken down, but by " tellers," or counting of heads. Conse quently no record remains of the side on which the whisky patriots voted, and no means are left of showing who was the knave and who was the honest man in this remarkable transaction. Tho Tribune is indignant at this barefaced job, and calls upon the President to veto the Bill, and send it back for reconsideration. It is not doubtful what course ho ought, but some who do not pretend to be his eno • mie : appear to consider it doubtful what course he will e, grounding th e i r uncer t a i n t y upon the fact that Pu rb 2 soro of the whisky speculators are as ardent as their MO liquor in support of Mr. Lin coln's re-election. THE MURDER FOURTEEN YEARS AGO.—The ex• traordinary charge upon which a tradesman named Weekly Ball has been committed for trial fa Northampton shire for murdering a woman named Lydia Atlee 14 year s ago has been already reported in The Sun. The charge w as based upon the discovery of a skeleton in a lane near the village of Ringetead, the supposed scene of the murder. A, missing tooth was the link by which it was sought to identify the skeleton found as that of the missing woman, but a dim culty in the way of this theory was that no bones of an in fant were found, as would be expected from the condition of Lydia Atlee at the time of her death. It was suggested in ono of the local newspapers that possibly a further search in the same spot might disclose the remains of an infant.
